Omg, I used to read the shit out of the experiences vault. Glad to see the site is still up.

My dumbass was shooting marbles out of my paintball gun. Worked great, but I nailed a few windows on our neighbor’s car!

Buy a as much of xyz stock as possible. Plant thought “buy xyz stock”.

I’m glad I never picked up wow. Its definitely a all or nothing type game.

I would guess I have multiple thousands of hours across the Halo and Pokemon series. My highest played steam game is dead by daylight (gross) at 1k hours. Deep Rock Galactic and PUBG are at around 500.

I like Jellyfin quite a bit better. The UI is less cluttered and the controls make more sense. It also doesn’t phone home like plex. I do keep plex running beside it for my dad and sister. Plex has way better device support.

Oh, sorry haven’t tried proxies. Just scraping a single site.

Not 100% sure if this is helpful, but here is what I’m importing and a snippet initiating webdriver. Sorry on mobile. The hardest part was getting the right chromium installed and getting the path right. I believe this is the one I used. sudo apt-get install chromium-chromedriver

from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC


driver = webdriver.Chrome("/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromedriver")```

I’ve thought about this a lot as well. Really the hiring process is just so goofy and feels so negative. I try not to let being passed by get to me, and try to learn from it all. For example, my last technical interviewer really hammered away the sql questions. I did ok, but realized I really need to brush up on it. Maybe work on some practice projects involving it. Lastly, I’ve given up entirely on the big leagues (faang, etc). It just is what it is. Even some of the mid level tech companies may be out of reach for some time for me.

The don’t know what I don’t know feeling happens a lot. I’ve been trying to learn basic CS and dabble with C. It has helped a bit opening up my mind.

I’ve been trying out linux gaming annually. With the steam deck out it proton has become super good. I think my gaming pc is finally going to stay on linux this time around. Oh anti cheat has support now too. Just got done playing a few round of halo mcc.

tide goes in tide goes out, you can’t explain that!

Heat…rewatched it for the nth time. One of the all time great crime movies.

What’s wrong with exposing port 22? I have password authentication disabled, ssh keys only. Isn’t that secure enough?

The cheese sauce with the giant pretzel

AIM! My entire junior high would be up all night chatting away. I figured out my mom’s password on her power Mac, and hid out in her office lol. It was so fun and novel at the time.
